Netflix Animated Comedy 'F is for Family' Renewed for Season 3

Netflix has renewed the Bill Burr animated comedy “F is for Family” for a third season.

“F is for Family,” co-created by Burr and Michael Price (“The Simpsons”), follows a family that lives in Middle America during the 1970s. Netflix describes the time period as one where “political correctness, helicopter parenting and indoor smoking bans weren’t part of anyone’s vocabulary.”

Burr announced the series renewal on Twitter Wednesday. Netflix also confirmed the news.

Really happy to announce there will be a season 3 of FIFF. Thanks to everyone for watching! @netflix #FIsForFamily #gaumontTV pic.twitter.com/YVowj4j7yE

It’s the story of an Irish-American family that doesn’t always show them in the most flattering light. It’s vulgar and full of obscenities, but at the core, it’s about people.

It features a star-studded voice cast including Burr, Laura Dern, Justin Long, Sam Rockwell and more.

The second season premiered May 30 on Netflix, nearly a year and a half after the first season’s premiere. However, fans were treated to an extended season, which was upped to 10 episodes from six.

The decision comes on the heels of a number of cancellations by the streaming service, including “The Get Down,” “Sense8” and “Girlboss.” Netflix announced that it was going to be more selective with its originals, so it looks like “F is for Family” made the cut.

It's been a rough few weeks of cancellations for fan-favorite shows like "Sense8," "Pitch" and "Sweet/Vicious." Here's the ones we're still super bummed about.
Sense8
Messy and homey, just like a real family. It's also not great timing that Netflix canceled this fan-favorite diverse and inclusive sci-fi drama on the first day of Pride Month.

Sweet/Vicious
Jules and Ophelia were the vigilantes we needed right now, but unfortunately MTV didn't agree.

Girl Meets World
Okay, sure, we've had months to come to terms with this "Boy Meets World" spinoff not finding a new home, but it's still too soon, okay?
Disney Channel
Pitch
Major League Baseball is ready for its first female player, but Fox wasn't ready to give Ginny Baker more than a season to prove herself.

Underground
This timely, modern take on American slavery was canceled as its network exited the scripted game, but fear not, creator and showrunner Misha Green has already promised they're looking for a new home for Harriet Tubman and the gang.
WGN America
Frequency
Perhaps not a surprise cancellation as ratings were never there for the better-than-the-premise-sounds father-daughter drama, but it's still a bummer we won't get to continue spending time with Frank and Raimy in the future - and the past.
The CW
The Get Down
Baz Luhrmann's visionary deep dive into the 1970s birth of hip hop was canceled after just one season, breaking a Netflix streak and millions of fans' hearts.

A futuristic drama about the dangers of corporations having too much power seems timely and important, but not according to Syfy, who canceled it after just one season.

This Australian import garnered a passionate following, and after four seasons, despite creator and star Josh Thomas reassuring "we are really happy with what we've made and feel like it is complete," fans were still hoping for more.
Pivot
Scream Queens
"American Horror Story" is still going strong six seasons in, so why couldn't its funnier, younger cousin last more than 2 seasons?
Fox
American Crime
John Ridley's masterful deep-dive into uncomfortable social issues season after season was cut down too soon, when these stories need to be told more than ever.
